Holga Winter

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Holga 120 CFN, Lomography Color 400, medium (120), square, toy camera

These are from my very first roll of 120 film shot with a Holga 120 CFN. First I watched a YouTube video on how to load a Holga, then I painstakingly loaded my Holga with a roll of Lomography Color 400 film, taped up the body of the Holga to prevent light leaks, and headed […]

Scotsman’s Hill

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Superia X-tra 400, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, panorama, sprockets

I bought a Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter with a 35mm Back from Lomography. I love the 35mm Back because it lets me shoot panoramas that are 3 conventional 35mm frames long with the sprockets exposed! These were the first photos I took with the 35mm Back and were shot in the summer of 2014 from […]

From the Past #2: More From Oregon

35mm, From the Past, Fuji Super G Plus 400, Point & Shoot, USA

Here are some more photos from my trip to the Oregon coast in the late ’90s. I shot almost exclusively with Fuji film back then because I loved Fuji’s colour palette with its saturated cooler colours. Incidentally, back then I didn’t like Kodak film which had a warmer tone. Today, it’s quite the opposite. While […]

From the Past: Oregon Sand Dunes

35mm, From the Past, Fuji Super G Plus 400, Point & Shoot, USA

From time to time, I plan to post old photos I took decades ago before digital cameras. I call this series From the Past. These photos were taken at the Oregon sand dunes back in the late ’90s. I had an old point & shoot camera back then that I had painstakingly saved up to […]

Kodak Hawkeye Traffic Surveillance Color Film

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Kodak Hawkeye Traffic Surveillance Color 400

I shot these while winter camping using Kodak Hawkeye Traffic Surveillance Color 400 film that I bought from the Film Photography Project store. If you haven’t heard of them before, they are worth checking out. The FPP is an amazing community resource for film photographers. They produce an awesome podcast and run a film store […]

B&W Trees

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Four Corner B&W 400

Here’s another batch of trees taken in Bow Valley Provincial Park–this time in chromogenic B&W! (I hate chromogenic B&W. I prefer more contrast.)

X-Pro Trees

35mm, AgfaPhoto CT Precisa 100, Alberta, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed

There are pros and cons to cross-processing slide film. Personally, a big pro for me is the way the sky is rendered. The first two shots are among my favourites. These shots of trees were taken on a hike in Bow Valley Provincial Park while camping at YMCA Camp Chief Hector.

A Winter Hike

35mm, AgfaPhoto CT Precisa 100, Alberta, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed

It was a beautiful day in Bow Valley Provincial Park so we all went for a hike.

More Winter Camping

35mm, AgfaPhoto CT Precisa 100, Alberta, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed

After a brief hiatus, here are a few more photos from YMCA Camp Chief Hector in winter. This was my first foray into cross-processing slide film. These were all shot on AgfaPhoto CT Precisa and then cross-processed. I used a polarizing filter which is why the sky gets darker in the photos. I just love […]

Camp Chief Hector

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Fuji Superia 200

I spent 4 days at YMCA Camp Chief Hector in February 2014. It was my first time camping in winter and luckily we had great weather. The camp’s location in Bow Valley Provincial Park is absolutely gorgeous and there’s a beautiful view of Mount Yamnuska from the camp. I shot 8 rolls of film while […]

Some Final Shots from the Zoo

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak UltraMax 400, Olympus Trip 35

These are the last of my photos from the Calgary Zoo back in February 2014. I had hoped to take more photos of the penguins, but I ran out of film.

Camels

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak UltraMax 400, Olympus Trip 35

Here’s a few shots of the Bactrian camels at the Calgary Zoo.

More Elephants

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography La Sardina Splendour, toy camera, Walgreens Photo 800

These were shot with some expired film I picked up online.

Elephants

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Superia 200, Lomography La Sardina Splendour, toy camera

I purchased a La Sardina Splendour camera online from Lomography and while I love the look of the camera, I struggled to take photos with it this day. At one point, the back of the camera popped off and two shots were overexposed! *sigh* I learned that you really need to commit to one camera […]

Ektachrome Elephants

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 100, Olympus Trip 35

The Calgary Zoo has since gotten rid of its elephants, which is a good thing since I believe it was far too cold for them.

Frozen

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 100, Olympus Trip 35

Even though it was a warm day, things are still quite frozen in Calgary in February.

Ektachrome Trees

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 100, Olympus Trip 35

The colour of the sky in these photos is one reason why I love Kodak Ektachrome film.

Cross-Processed Ektachrome

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, cross-processed, Kodak Ektachrome 100, Olympus Trip 35

These are from the first roll of E-6 slide film I ever cross-processed and I was quite thrilled with some of the results. Kodak Ektachrome has since become one of my favourite films. It’s a shame that Kodak no longer produces it. These three shots are of the Grey Wolf enclosure at the Calgary Zoo. […]
